How webcasting my wedding saved me?

I was to get married in a small church and so I could not call all my friends to my wedding. I had only about 100 invites and more than 300 guests to invite. I was stressed out completely. I wanted all my friends to be a part of my most special day. And all my friends are dear to me and so I wanted all of them to attend it. 

A few of my friends saw the stress I was going through and so they suggested that I go for wedding webcast. That way all of them would be able to see my wedding and be a part of the LIVE ceremony while it was taking place. The suggestion was exciting and I decided to go for it.

I hired LiveStreamPro, a Delhi-based company and premiere webcast service provider, to live stream my wedding. I gave them the list of all my virtual guests and that was it. My job was done. Rest all LiveStreampro handled brilliantly.

So on the day, all my friends were able to watch the entire wedding proceedings and all its rituals. Some of them assembled at one place to watch the wedding together. I could even talk to them, as in they sent me messages on real time and I replied to them live. It felt as if they are with me only and not sitting somewhere else. It was so much fun.

And since I was getting the webcasting done I took the opportunity to invite a few of my relatives and friends from abroad also who would have otherwise missed the wedding, all having some or the other reason... cost... office... school... and so on. But anyways, they were happy that I did not forget them and made them a part of my wedding. And I got a lot of blessings from all across the world. Lucky me.

There were a few of my friends who were not able to watch the wedding live, so for them LiveStreamPro provided a video on demand facility for viewing. They uploaded my wedding on the internet and gave me the login password, which I could share with the people who I wanted to share my wedding with. 

My wedding was a hit and each and every one of my friends go to see it. I think to get my wedding webcasted was the best decision I made and LiveStreamPro captured it brilliantly. 

Webcasting used in Distance Learning

I am currently pursuing MBA from one of the premiere MBA institute in Delhi, India by way of distance learning. The institute has learning centres across each state in India and these centres have weekend classes to help students with their courses and difficulties. The classes are very useful if attended sincerely.

A few months back I had to move out of India because of my job. And as a result I was deprived of these weekend classes and any guidance. I knew I would be able to manage theory subjects on my own. The subject I was most worried about was Operation Research. And to my horror, when I opened the book all my fears turned real. I was not able to understand a thing. I sat with my book opened in front of me trying to make sense of what was written; I turned the pages for hours; and finally ended up closing it without understanding a word and with a severe headache. I was sure I am going to fail this exam.

In this desperate state, an idea stuck me. I opened youtube.com and typed the name of my first chapter. And Eureka!!! To my delight there came in front of me the entire lecture series of an IIM professor teaching his class. His live class was recorded by some webcasting company or video recording company and these recorded lectures were uploaded on the website for students like me. And so one by one I downloaded and learnt all the lectures and within a week I was able to solve each and every problem given in my course book. I was thrilled to use the Video on Demand service. 

Now a days, many colleges and many individual professors are uploading the live recording of their lectures over the internet. This gives them more credibility and wider audience. And it goes without saying that the students are benefited from this in a big way. 

Also, with so much competition and the cut off of the admissions into colleges reaching the 100 percent mark, students who otherwise would not get admission to the top colleges or to any college for that matter and therefore cannot even dream of experiencing the teachings techniques of NIFT or IIM or IIT professors, are able to actually learn from them by looking at these videos.

Webcast – A boon for NRIs

A few days back I got a call from my friend here in Malaysia. She was upset. She told me that her best friend from school, who stays in India, is getting married and she will not be able to go, because her kids have their semester exams in school. She said all her other close friends will also be there and she will be the only one missing out on all the fun. She was really upset and I could not do or say much to console her. This is one of the disadvantages of staying far and we all NRIs experience it some or the other time, sometimes it is a birthday party, sometimes anniversary, sometimes house warming party and similar other events of great sentimental value to us.

After that day, I met her yesterday and asked her if she had heard from her friend and if she heard how the wedding went. She told me that she attended the wedding herself. She told me that her friend had got her wedding webcasted through this service provider called LiveStreamPro and so she was able to attend the wedding virtually over the internet. 

She then went on to explain me about this amazing technology called Webcasting. Like we watch the live broadcast of cricket match or any other event on television, in Webcasting we watch Live broadcast on the internet. Through the use of webcasting she was not only able to watch the wedding LIVE and see of all the wedding rituals, she was also able to send messages to her friend on real time to which her friend responded live. Her other friends also spoke to her live. She was so excited telling me all this. 

To me LiveStreamPro or any other webcasting company for that matter is doing us NRIs a great service through this technology. This keeps us closer to our family and friends back in India and helps us be a part of all the important occasions that we otherwise would have missed.

Just one day before my best friend was to get married in Delhi, I had to go to Mumbai urgently for a business conference. My boss was very adamant that I go for it and so I had no choice but to go.

But I had made my arrangements well. I had booked myself a 5:00 pm flight back to Delhi (on the day of the wedding), so that I have enough time to get ready and be on my friend’s side by the time he sat on his ‘ghori’ (the horse). 

But as it happens, my work prolonged and I had to postpone my flight. I had just one option with me if I wanted to attend my friend’s wedding. I knew the wedding webcast service provider my friend had hired for covering his wedding live, as I had helped him find one. Although I was uncertain whether this option will work at such short, as these guys had specifically told us that they needed to know the number of people who are to watch the live webcast beforehand, I still wanted to give it a try.

I called the webcast vendor in Delhi and told him my problem. These guys could have easily told me it is not possible and I would have listened. But they asked me to give them 30 minutes and took my number and email address. After precisely 30-40 minutes I received a call from the webcast guys telling me that they have sent me a link on my email address and very patiently told me the procedure of logging on and viewing the live webcast. 

Now this is what I call customer service and I was totally impressed and relieved and their fan for life. And it was then that I called my friend and told him about what had happened. Thankfully he understood. And the live webcast even allowed us to talk to each other, as I could send him the message on real time and he replied live (in code words obviously).

But all said and done, if it was not the proactive and helping attitude of the LiveStreamPro guys, I would have certainly missed my best friend’s wedding. Thank you LiveStreamPro!

My choice for Wedding Webcast vendor

My cousin from America was to get married in Ludhiana, Punjab (India) last year. And since her friends from America could not be a part of the wedding, she insisted on having her wedding webcasted live, so that a live broadcast is done of the wedding over the internet and her friends and few family member, who could not be a part of the wedding, could view it live sitting anywhere in the world. 

So my uncle asked me to find a good and cost-effective webcast vendor for the same who provided services across India. I decided to go for a Delhi-based vendor, so that I am able to communicate the requirements to them in a better manner and also negotiate with them face to face. Also most importantly, the vendor needs to provide services in Ludhiana too. 

Having these preconditions in mind, I started my search like anyone else would. I typed the following on google.com:

Wedding Webcast Service Provider + delhi-based

I went through the websites intensely and chose five webcast companies who provide services across India and the provider I finally chose was a company named LiveStreamPro (www.livestreampro.com).

I guess why I chose them was because of the first impression of the company I got. The marketing guy who came and met me spoke with the confidence of a person who has executed many similar events successfully. He answered each of my question with a casestudy and reference. Being from marketing background myself, I can really make out when a person is talking truth and not cooking stories. 

But having done my bit, I was nervous on the day of the wedding because if something went wrong I would be blamed. But believe me I was thrilled of my decision to go with LiveStreamPro. The webcasting team who covered the wedding was so well mannered and humble and did an excellent job; and did I mention, LiveStreamPro was cheaper than almost all the vendors I spoke to. I also noticed them helping other wedding guests with their camcorders and cameras and giving them tips to get the best result.

My uncle and others in the family appreciated my judgement skills. I was the star of the evening and even today I am quoted when old memories are discussed.
